Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Home Study Course?

The 12-Unit Home Study Course includes comprehensive written materials, guided practices, meditation instructions, contemplative exercises, and access to the complete Walter Russell cosmology. Each unit builds progressively, covering topics from basic meditation to advanced spiritual science.

How long does it take to complete?

The course is designed to be completed at one unit per month (12 months total), allowing time for deep integration of each unit's teachings. However, it's completely self-paced - you can move faster or slower based on your schedule and how deeply you want to engage with each unit. We recommend taking time to integrate each unit's teachings before moving forward.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! The course is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to advanced spiritual seekers. We start with foundational concepts and meditation basics, then progressively build to more advanced material. Each unit explains concepts clearly without requiring prior knowledge of philosophy or spiritual practice.

How is this different from the free Awaken Live content?

Awaken Live provides weekly discussions and explorations of the course material - it's a great free introduction. The Home Study Course offers the complete structured curriculum with in-depth written materials, personal practices, contemplative exercises, and the full Walter and Lao Russell teachings. Think of Awaken Live as the guided tour, and the Home Study Course as owning the comprehensive textbook.

What if I have questions while studying?

While the course is designed for independent study, you can engage with the Awaken community through our YouTube comments, social media, or contact us directly. Many students also find that the Awaken Live sessions address questions that arise during their personal study.
